About
The idea is to find old games for real download (no jokes) very quickly instead of long journey with google or each website
exploring.
Engine contains special automatic Indexer which independently analyzes each website
and FTP for abandonware titles, extracts direct title links and updates all data when changes have been
made.
The whole process takes place without need for assistance of indexed websites owners and any prepared game list.
Note that this is search engine and we take no responsibility for content of
external links.
Project was found in 2003 as Independent Software and reactivated with new name
as Old Games Finder in 2014.
If you know website or FTP with some rare stuff, please contact us immediately.
